Coach Ricchini handed Fassina a senior debut during qualifying last summer and she did a steady job as a role-player in the 11 minutes-per-game she was handed. Having had an extensive career with her country at youth level, she has never been a player to put many points on the board and last season with Orvieto, she found points production on the lean side. Nevertheless, she isn't someone concerned with racking up big scores but more about the team, playing key cameos, especially defensively. A favourite with the fans for her club team, her aggressive approach and appetite for the things that you don't see in the statistical categories could make her a favoured national team player too.
